Finally, Back on the Server

**Redeye7** · 05-16-08, 09:38 AM

Pretty excited, I got my PC up and running last night. I got to play one round of Tunis Harbor before I had to go. It was a great time, even if I spent most of it lying face down on the ground, bleeding out next to the train tracks

(I'm looking at you, Tenrou!)

What a great time though. I'm really happy to be back and can't wait to see everyone. I'm going to be playing again tonight, hope to see a bunch of you folks there.

The prodigal returns! I took a couple of hunks of meat out of him while priming the titan server last night. Welcome back, bro!

you got your shit working? Any guess what the problem was? 10:38 couldnt have been all that long after you told me you were done with 2142 forever since you couldnt get it installed...

I literally chucked the CD across the room at 10:39, about a minute after we hung up.

But yeah, it was messed up. The EA downloader for my Northern Strike and the patch was doing something goofy.

It's a single click to launch the installer, but for some reason it would launch the patch twice, even though it only showed one instance of it in the task bar. I finally figured it out by looking at the processes. Once I figured it out, it was just a matter of killing the process on one of the two instances and then clicking next to launch the patch.

Before I figured that out, the patch would endlessly loop over and over. If I clicked on anything at all to try and stop it, or just even clicking the desktop, it would crash explorer.exe. Ridiculous.

Talk about frustrating. After I managed to do that, I was able to get Northern Strike installed. It was one of those 'oh here we go again with 2142 moments' and I almost couldn't take it heh.

Glad to hear that Redeye, oh I know how you feel I spend a lot of time face down in the dirt myself. Wednesday night I was on the team across from what looked like most of the ][5th Column][ the worst beat down I have ever experienced.

I'll see you tonight on the field. :9
